Preparing the dreaded SAT exams and not sure what to expect? That’s the idea; they want you to take the test without knowing how it is written or even how it is graded. Would they ask you to play basketball without telling you the rules? (Um, that’s rhetorical, so I’m not going to answer it.) As a former instructor for a famous test prep organization, Will knows the rules of the game and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.

The course will include a review of the subjects you need to know for the test, techniques that allow you to make the most of the exam format, and three practice tests that we will go over in detail, tailoring our classes to address your individual needs. A course like this traditionally runs for over $900 per student and often more for such a small tutorial. The bid will include instruction for up to three students (not including Olivia, who will be taking them too, so you’ll have some company. No more than 4 students total) Group will meet eight times before the May 8th exam. (Location TBD) Practice test books not included.

I can convert records to CDs and would be willing to do 3 records per person for 3 people. I will ask you to provide the records and the CDs. I will not try to edit the records or fix scratches or skips. I can copy the whole record in one long play or I can stop after each song so you will be able to select specific songs on playback. Family Friendly. Value: $30, Offerings: 1 offerings of 3 records remaining, Minimum Bid: $7 Donor: Nancy Parker Tel: 860-643-0065

This mailbox will have your house number on it and is mounted so that it rotates out of the way when hit with the snow projected by the plow. Value: $50, Offerings: 2 mailboxes remaining, Minimum Bid: $25 Donor: Jay Stewart Tel: 860-647-8634
